I Became a Fortune Teller in a Damn Crappy Game
『 Translator – Divinity 』
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what the hell went wrong.
I was only twenty-five, and I hadn’t really done anything dangerous.
I read web novels, but I didn’t send 5700 won.
I didn’t get hit by a truck and transported to another world.
And I wasn’t some hardcore gamer who knew the blood type and mole location of every character in some weird game.
“Ah.”
Right, I did play one game.
It was a game with a website rating so low it was pathetic, but still, a game I played diligently.
It just had a bunch of jobs with crappy balance.
The content was all grinding, but even that encouraged multiple playthroughs to increase playtime.
And on top of that, the difficulty was unnecessarily high, making it infuriating.
…Thinking about it now, it seemed like it was hatred, not affection.
“Damn crappy game.”
Why the hell did I even play it?
It was a game with so few good memories that I suddenly wondered why I had bothered.
I cursed countless times while playing, and the battles were turn-based, so I had to keep saving and loading to beat the damn bosses.
The whole process wasn’t exactly fun, nor did it inspire any sense of challenge.
But what could I do?
“Why did she even make that kind of thing…”
It was a game made by my younger sister who ran away from home to become a game developer.
As her older brother, wasn’t it the right thing to do to at least play it?
And as a ‘consumer’ who paid for the game, I could give some feedback to the developer.
So I was just about to finish the game with every job, with just one left…
“….”
No way.
“No… no way…”
[Congratulations! You are the first player in ‘Romance Academy’ to reach the 26th playthrough, with only the last job remaining!]
“Don’t fuck with me… please…”
I turned my gaze towards the writing that I was desperately trying to avoid.
I quickly read the message, needlessly shining and floating in the air.
[The developers have prepared a special gift just for player ‘PleaseGetYourShitTogether’!]
“Cut the crap…!!”
[Go directly to ‘Romance Academy’, which you have enjoyed 26 times as the last job, ‘Fortune Teller’!]
“… you bitch.”
[PS. Have a happy life!]
“You crazy bitch!!!!”
…It seemed I had entered the game my sister made.
